Have you tried using a grid as
drawing tool for enlarging a picture? If not, well let me share it why you
should. It can be very helpful because it allows you to focus on one block of
the picture at a time. So why pay for those expensive grid drawing tutorials
when you can learn the same technique on your own for free. I learned using a
grid for drawing when I was in grade school and till now it is the easiest
technique I’m getting use to. From simple to delicate project, grid drawing can
be used for almost any project and it is easy for the beginner to try.

I will teach you how to use grid
as a tool for drawing on this post. But first, we have to prepare the
following materials:

and of course, our reference picture.

Step 1: Draw a grid on the
reference picture. (I’m using 1cm is to 1.5 inches ratio (ratio: 1 cm : 1.5 in) for that reason, reference picture will be scaled 1 centimeter per line
distance.)

Step 2: Make a grid on your
drawing paper.

(Do the same steps on step 1 but
use 1.5 inches per line distance.)

As I’ve said earlier, we only
have to focus on one block of the picture at a time. Copy the whole image by
using this method. Once you're done, you can erase the grid lines.
